jsyk discord's #OnlineSafetyAct compliance is client-side only, so if like me you have play store updates disabled your mobile app predates the compliance and you can view nsfw channels on mobile but not on desktop

idk don't know where else to throw these rn

if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid

computers peaked when you could put linux in a pda and browse the web with konqueror embedded

it's not perfect, some keys are not quite aligned and so are harder to press than they should be, but it's leagues ahead of trying to use it as a collection of loose parts on the bench

yes... haha YES!

our wife is making a shell for the gizmo (she's better at fusion than we are) and hopefully we'll have a test print tomorrow

not being able to hold it off a table to use thumbs to type has been a major hindrance in actually using it

HUGE step forward

i now have Stefan's basic running on the gizmo with full graphic capabilities of the monochrome 128x64 display and implemented a FatFSUSB driver so i can save files and transfer them to a computer

gave up on pybasic on top of circuitpython, have now been porting stefan's tinybasic 2 to the gizmo

some text printing and scrolling is still bad but this is slowly becoming a much more functional basic machine

smaller font, smoother scrolling

it speaks basic

that ought to do for now

pico successfully shimmed

here's the plan, roughly

the height (and the added width if i was using a grove cable) would make designing a case around it awkward
